The news of his promotion to the Faculty of Education spread quickly, and despite the fact that Jingshi University was located in the suburbs, the crowd of Daohe still came one after another, and they almost didn't step on the threshold of the Sun family. No pop-up window to update quickly // As for the telegram congratulations, there are even more people, most of whom have not even heard of their names before.

Sun Yuanqi was a little puzzled, and asked Yang Du, who was happy on the side: "Huizi, it's so strange!" When I was the left waiter of the school department, except for a few relatives and friends, few people came to the door to say hello. Now that I have made a book, why do people all over the world suddenly have a friendship with me? You see, this is from Daozhou County, Hubei, Fengyang and Shouzhou County, Anhui, and Huai'an, Jiangsu.......

Yang Duchun's face was full of light, and he shook his head with a fan and said, "More than that, right? Not only do you recognize relatives and make friends, but I'm afraid that even some of the past festivals will send congratulatory gifts, right? ”

Sun Yuan nodded: Isn't it? It's like brothers Li Jingchu and Li Jingfang, who seem to have completely forgotten the fact that they were stabbed by Lilith not long ago, and came to visit with a gift and a smile.

Yang Du closed the paper fan and leaned forward: "Being a waiter can only show that you are capable and have a backstage, but it does not mean that you are indispensable." In the past, there were four squires in each department, and everyone would often move back and forth between the six departments, and occasionally go out to be a school administrator, a political envoy and even a governor, and finally get the opportunity to be promoted, but because of a small mistake, they were suppressed for several years and couldn't turn over. It can be said that the vast majority of squires have no hope of promotion and die of old age. Since your future is uncertain, why should others take the initiative to flatter you? Anyway, you won't be able to get out for a while, and you won't be able to control him! ”

Sun Yuanqi roughly understood: the squire is like a deputy minister. Not to mention the central ministries and commissions, how many vice-ministerial-level cadres are there in a province alone? Vice Governor, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Deputy Director of the Provincial People's Congress, Vice Chairman of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor of the Provincial Municipal Party Committee of the Provincial City, and even the Secretary of the Party Committee and President of the Vice Ministerial University. It all adds up. There were also twenty or thirty people. But what about the ministerial? Few, like the morning star.

"Shangshu is completely different. Now as far as the whole country is concerned, there are only three or five people who can rank above Shangshu, including the emperor, the Empress Dowager Longyu, the regent of the Military Aircraft Department, Prince Qing, and Na Qinxuan. Although Shangshu is not 'below one person, above ten thousand', it is also the top of power. The ministers of the first court (the Metropolitan Procuratorate) and the 12 ministries (the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Degree Branch, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Learning, the Ministry of the Army, the Ministry of the Navy, the Ministry of Law, the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and the Ministry of Politics and Domain), and the nine governors outside (the three eastern provinces, Zhili, Liangjiang, Liangguang, Huguang, Fujian, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Yunnan-Guizhou) are the most powerful members in the country. Yang Du continued, "I can do this position. Show that you are not just a subordinate, but also the spokesperson of an important faction in the court. Naturally, others want to hold you everywhere! ”

According to Yang Du, Shangshu in the late Qing Dynasty felt similar to today's Politburo members. But when he said that he represented a certain faction, Sun Yuanqi felt that the cowhide was a little boundless: "You said that the skin." Which faction do I represent? ”

Yang Du disagreed: "In terms of origin, you are representing the foreign faction; In terms of origin, you are the successor to the mantle of Zhang Wenxiang and Sun Wenzheng; In terms of political leanings, you represent the Pre-Constituent Assembly. ”

Sun Yuanqi smiled: "I actually represent so many? I don't even know about myself, how can others understand? ”

Yang Du didn't blink his eyes: "Do you know." It doesn't matter. Since the imperial court chose you as Shangshu, it means that it has put a stamp on you, and others will naturally think so. After a long time, even you yourself will think so. ”

Sun Yuanqi shook his head: "Don't say anything else." Who doesn't know that I've never been involved in politics? Moreover, not long ago, Zhang Jian, Zheng Xiaoxu, Tang Shouqian, and others who were preparing for the Constitutional Association planned to replace me. How can I represent them? ”

Yang Du sat down on the chair again: "For example, today, everyone talks about participating in politics and talking about constitutionalism. Discussions abounded, boiling over the sky, and the court was already miserable. It is precisely because you don't get involved in politics that you were chosen to be a scholar, so that you can settle quietly.

"As for the preparatory constituent assembly, as the saying goes, 'this time, that time' too! When they wanted to replace you, it was your backer who fell, so they wanted to compete with each other, so that the high-quality ones would get first; Now that you are the backer, how dare they make trouble again? Don't worry, I heard that you are a scholar, and I guarantee that they will go north immediately and come to meet you in person! ”

Sun Yuanqi laughed at himself: "They actually look up to me, the head of the Qingshui Yamen, it's rare!" Rare! ”

Yang Du smiled: "Baixi, you are too humble!" Although the school department is Qingshui Yamen, its position in the twelve departments of the first courtyard is not low, second only to the five departments of foreign affairs, officials, civil affairs, degree branches, and rites, ranking sixth, higher than the army and navy! ”

Sun Yuanqi pouted: "According to what you say, the Ministry of Posts and Communications is still the second-to-last among the twelve!" I want to swap with Sheng Xingsun (Sheng Xuanhuai), who of the two would not want to? ”

Yang Du laughed a few times: "That said, when you reach Sheng Xingsun's age, Baixi, let's see who doesn't want to change?" And looking at the posture of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, it may be your turn in a few days! ”

The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications is a wonderful flower in the late Qing Dynasty government, from the establishment of the 32nd year of Guangxu (1906) in September, to the official curtain call of the Qing Dynasty in December of the third year of Xuantong (1911), a total of more than five years, actually changed 13 leaders. Among them, Chen Bi has the longest tenure, with one year and eight months; The shortest is Wu Yusheng, only half a month. The average is less than half a year per person, far exceeding the speed of CPU replacement.

Sun Yuanqi hurriedly waved his hand: "Then forget it!" I am a scholar in the school department, and I have already exhausted my donkey skills. The Ministry of Posts and Communications is full of bullshit, it's not a place for people to stay, I think it's better to continue to trouble Sheng Xingsun! ”

Yang Du said: "Don't worry, even if you go to the Ministry of Posts and Communications, those old guys won't dare to go too far with you." There is a saying in the countryside, 'It is better to bully the white bearded man than to bully the poor youth.'" 'What's more, Baixi, are you still a black-headed man? Among the ministers of the Ministry today, except for the Minister of the Admiralty, Xun Beile (Zai Xun), you are the youngest. If nothing else, you can still experience 30 years in officialdom. What is the concept of thirty years? You can wait until all the old coffins are gone. And then one hundred and eighty toss their children and grandchildren. Do you think they should respect you three points? ”

Thirty years? In real history, thirty years later, little Japan has occupied most of China, and the whole country should be "divided between north and south, and young and old." No matter who you are, you have the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war, and you should have the determination to sacrifice everything", who has the leisure to play with their own people?

Sun Yuanqi finished writing the excerpt of thanksgiving, and was just about to move back to his apartment in the city, when he was besieged by a large number of uninvited guests.

There were hundreds of uninvited guests, all of whom looked like students, and they entered Jingshi University in a mighty manner. As soon as you enter the campus. As if in a trick, he took out a paper flag and a cloth banner from his bosom, which read:

"Swear to petition to the death, constitution to save the country!"

"Enact the constitution as soon as possible, and start the congress as soon as possible!"

"Patriotism is justified. Petition not guilty! ”

"Tianjin academic comrades will cry blood and knock on the blood to release Wen Shilinjun!"

……

Originally, these people planned to go around Jingshi University and encourage teachers and students to participate in the march and petition, but who knew that because the situation was unknown, they almost made a big joke:

First, Jingse University is much larger than its contemporaries! And the mountain roads are rugged. The shape is not round, and it takes at least three or four hours to go around in a circle. The group of enthusiastic young people waited at the fork of the east and west campuses in the back mountain, and looked at the endless buildings in the distance. only to realize how wrong I was, and hesitated for a long time. I had to turn back halfway.

Second, the teachers and students of Jingshi University were under the influence of Sun Yuanqi. They have become typical moderates, paying attention to academic patriotism, rejuvenating the country through education, and saving the country through industry, and have never been enthusiastic about demonstrations and petitions. What's more, I just played it once not long ago? So you can often hear conversations like this:

"Come on, dear students! Work with us to promote the early promulgation of the Constitution of the motherland and the speedy opening of the National Assembly! "Someone grabbed a student from Jingshi University who was in a hurry.

"Uh, you see, I'm rushing to Lize upstairs to take Professor Tesla's class, and I won't have a seat when I'm late!"

"Students, our beloved President Wen Shilin, in order to promulgate the constitution as soon as possible and open the Congress as soon as possible, with full of enthusiasm, organized us to petition the Governor of Zhili. Who knew that Chen Yong'an not only did not accept our petition, but also secretly arrested Wen Jun and sent him to Xinjiang for local crimes. Are we guilty of patriotism? Is our petition a disturbance of the place? Someone spoke impassionedly.

“……”

"Classmate, you have something to say!" Someone is a little angry.

"Well, are you sure you're in the wrong place? We are Jingshi University, and the capital is still forty miles away from here! ”

Third, after the assassination of Sun Yuanqi, the security of Jingshi University has been significantly strengthened. As soon as these students shouted slogans, they were watched by nearly 100 security guards at gunpoint, and their momentum immediately became a little shorter.

There were few people in this group who responded, so they had to change their strategy and go straight to Sun Yuanqi's apartment in the middle of the mountain. As soon as the security guards saw them rushing towards Sun Yuanqi's residence, they immediately became nervous and began to chase and intercept them. During the period, it was inevitable that there would be collisions and pulls, and the noise was noisy for a while.

Sun Yuanqi was looking at the excerpts handed over by the envoys from all over the country, and frowned unconsciously: "What happened?" ”

Lao Zhao went out to take a look, and came back to report: "Master, it seems that students from other places came to the school to make trouble." ”

"Troublemaker?" Now as a school secretary, everything related to students belongs to the business. Sun Yuanqi put down the fold, "Push me out to have a look." ”

"Sir, it's a mess outside. You see? Lao Zhao has a shadow of the assassination, and this kind of noisy scene naturally does not want Sun Yuan to get out.

Sun Yuanqi was a little impatient, so he turned his wheelchair and walked out. Lao Zhao had no choice but to hurry over and push it. When I got outside, it was really a mess, there were bystanders, some shouting slogans, some pointing their noses and scolding, and some scuffling together......

After Sun Yuanqi was injured, his qi was a little insufficient, so he instructed Lao Zhao: "Go, let them stop making trouble, have something to say!" ”

Lao Zhao came forward, and the security guards stopped in amusement, and hurriedly came over to surround Sun Yuanqi. Seeing this scene, the students guessed that it was the main protagonist who appeared, and after a moment of silence, the slogan sounded like thunder on the ground, and the sound of "Down with the Manchu Eagle Dog" could even be heard.

Sun Yuanqi frowned, pushed away the security guards blocking in front of him, and stretched out his hand to signal the group of students who were red-faced because of anger to be quiet. As a result, the students not only did not listen, but shouted slogans higher and higher. He had no choice but to call Lao Zhao: "You went over and told them that I was injured and couldn't speak loudly." If they want to petition, then calm down and get two representatives to come over and have a good talk. (To be continued.) )
